About Logan Metesh
Logan Metesh is a firearms historian who specializes in the history and development of guns and runs High Caliber History LLC, a consulting, research, and writing business. He holds a degree in historic preservation with a concentration in museum studies from the University of Mary Washington, and he spent more than a decade researching, interpreting, and caring for collections at the Smithsonian Institution, the National Park Service, and the NRA Museums, including the National Firearms Museum. Those institutions hold some of the most significant historic arms in the country, and his museum background gives his work a documentary, artifact-first approach.
Since 2015 Metesh has worked in outdoor media, publishing hundreds of articles on firearms history, collecting, valuation, and the shooting sports in more than 20 magazines and websites, including Field and Stream, The Firearm Blog, and AmmoLand. He was a frequent guest on NRATV’s “Curator’s Corner,” has appeared as a historic firearms expert on television programs, and formerly hosted the No Lowballers podcast. For collectors and gun owners, his work connects individual firearms to the people and events that shaped American history.
